Dating a Fender Jazzer

[KennysFord]

Hey all.
Whilst visiting my neighbours back garden studio the other day i spied a tatty looking Fender Jazz propped up against the wall.He asked if i would try and date it for him.The serial on the headstock is
76 31655
Do i presume then thats its a 76 or is that too easy.An approximate value would be nice as well.
Thanks in advance.

If the 76 is in bold then yes it's likely to be a 76-77 made Jazz, this link should help.
